Highlanders v Bulls

Oh please some Landers can you score
-
ball sitting out yet no one allowed ot go for it or Smith

I really don't believe in so many draws. The odds on that must be ridiculous.
$$$$$ definitely talks -

$$$$$ definitely talks@Jailbreak7 what are the odds the Bulls would have back to back draws.

Landers gone, now Blues have a chance but they need a bonus point win and hope the Sharks lose.

So glad Highlanders didn't win. I think New Zealand teams have relied for so long on being better than other teams. So if you are up by seven you can just play how you like. Other teams are bang average so you can just outplay them. Now those margins have tightened they don't have the game sense to close a game out.

@hydro11 Think Bender would have made a difference - calm head for decision making and game management. Impetus. Belief.

If you were picking people on super rugby form Jackson Hemapo and Liam Coltman should be joining Brad Weber on the plane to the RWC..totally underwhelmed by Naholo .just looked absolutely lethargic this evening despite getting over the whitewash
Just too many unforced errors by the Highlanders, but credit to the Bulls, to get 2 draws in NZ in no mean feat ..
Tevita Li summed up the Landers performance,some really good stuff mixed up with some really ugly stuff..
Thought Hemapo,Coltman,Thompson,McKay and Josh Ioane were the best of the home team. -

@Stargazer I thought Whitelock was fairly underwhelming.
Britz and Snyman were bloody annoying buggers and it would have helped the Landers cause had they had a big bulldozing 8 coming off the back of that scrum, making dominant tackles and taking the ball up. Bllody hell Hemopo was a bit of a lone ranger there -
That was a great shot of bender and daughter behind the kicker..!,brilliant

If you are seven up, why not have a sweeper back when you have the ball in midfield? It's just common sense. If you aren't going to have a sweeper back, then you need to play more conservatively. Teams think they can just play any sort of rugby whenever they want because they are good enough to do it. They do this rather than play the game in front of them.
